Sunburned Hand Of Man's Adam Nobelman died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday this week.

The Hand - who count Julian Cope as a fan - formed in 1997 from the collapsing parts of Shit Spangled Banner and, over the last decade, have seen many members come and go, with Nobelman joining relatively lately - in 2005, after a circuitous route through other groups that took in Motherhead Bug and Crash Worship. He combined his time in Hand with playing for Franklins Mint and Shitsweat - "the pioneer valley assault band".

There are plans for three memorials in the places where Adam worked as a musician - New York, Woodstock and Massachusetts - and the band are appealing for photos and video of Adam on stage - email them to sunburnedhand@gmail.com if you have any.
